Since the initiation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations in 2015, researchers worldwide have investigated various aspects of it. One of the key areas of interest is the third SDG, which focuses on health, with its series of indicators.
This study aims to analyze the contributions of academia by using bibliographic mapping to examine scholarly publications on SDG health from 2015 to 2021.
We analyzed bibliographic data from The Lens database between 2015 and 2021 using Bibliometrix page and VOSviewer. Our analysis focused on scholarly productivity, bibliometric analysis, and geographic distribution of the outputs.
We retrieved a total of 450 documents from The Lens database, with articles being the most dominant document typology at 99.8%. The mean age of the documents was 3.85 years, with a total of 18,440 citations. The mean citation per document was 40.98, and the mean citation per document per year was 5.85. The leading article, published in The Lancet journal, studied the effect of multiple adverse childhood experiences on health and received 1809 citations in five years. Keyword co-occurrence analysis generated three clusters, with the keyword 'human' appearing in 75.11% of all the publications. The University of London and World Health Organization were the leading institutions, while the United Kingdom, the United States, and Switzerland were the most productive countries.
This study provides policymakers working on SDG health with valuable insights into research gaps within the indicators and funding challenges facing developing countries.
自2015年联合国发起可持续发展目标（SDGs）以来，全球研究人员对其各个方面进行了调查。其中一个关键关注领域是第三个可持续发展目标，该目标聚焦于健康及其一系列指标。
本研究旨在通过文献计量映射分析学术界对2015年至2021年可持续发展目标健康方面学术出版物的贡献。
我们使用Bibliometrix页面和VOSviewer分析了2015年至2021年期间来自The Lens数据库的文献数据。我们的分析重点是学术生产力、文献计量分析以及产出的地理分布。
我们从The Lens数据库中总共检索到450份文献，其中文章是最主要的文献类型，占比99.8%。文献的平均年龄为3.85年，总被引次数为18440次。每份文献的平均被引次数为40.98次，每份文献每年的平均被引次数为5.85次。发表在《柳叶刀》杂志上的主导文章研究了多种童年不良经历对健康的影响，五年内获得了1809次引用。关键词共现分析产生了三个聚类，关键词“人类”出现在所有出版物的75.11%中。伦敦大学和世界卫生组织是领先机构，而英国、美国和瑞士是产出最多的国家。
本研究为致力于可持续发展目标健康领域的政策制定者提供了宝贵见解，有助于了解指标内的研究差距以及发展中国家面临的资金挑战。
